While Barret's sonnets reveal a genuine love between two, F Scott Fitzgerald's novel explores very different types of love. The novel is filtered through the personal context of the author and the values of the 1920's America.
Much like Gatsby, Fitzgerald's personal life convoluted. Involving a traumatic relationship with his wife Zelda and continuous financial difficulties. Fitzgerald's views on the context of his time are portrayed in his novel, with characteristics of the American Dream, frivolity, prohibition and the false facade of values show in the 1920's.

Okay Linus, fine for this little bit. You need to back up for an overall intro and Browning's poetry. Your last sentence on 1920s context seems light-on. We'll be talking about spiritual values - or the lack of them in Gatsby, so you should make some reference to them. This reads as one paragraph. Mr W
